I found out why my boost was dropping off. To make it worse the exhuast was getting sucked through my intake. Here is the gasket I was using. Is there a copper or steel replacement that wont burn through? I also thought about using no gasket and sealant like I did for my downpipe. No leaks there yet. What did the rest of you do.

that is one of the good kind. I had a problem like that on my turbo Z. My flange was warped. once we fixed that it was all good. Also once you install it, run it for 10 minutes (just let it idle, and get warm. Then go back and tighten everything up again. You might want to do this for a day or 2.

There is a better waste gate gasket maid by Tial . I had the same problem with that type off gasket too. Tial makes it with ceramic and I have not had any problems with it again.
